Phorms Bilingual School Berlin-Mitte provides a continuous educational journey for children from age two through to the German Abitur. Located in a converted historic brick factory, the school operates on a full-day schedule from 7:30 to 18:00, integrating academic lessons with afternoon enrichment. The curriculum follows the Berlin state framework but is delivered through a 50/50 English-German immersion model. In primary years, each class is supported by both a teacher and an educator to ensure a high care ratio. A signature feature of the campus is its "House of Little Scientists" certification, which emphasizes early scientific inquiry through hands-on experiments. From Year 5, students can enter a specialized bilingual science-focused secondary pathway, where subjects like Biology and Chemistry are taught primarily in English. Facilities include a dedicated theatre hall for student productions and a child-friendly kitchen for culinary projects. The school focuses on practical digital literacy, providing students with personal laptops starting in Year 7 to support a modern learning environment.
